About Us
Los Hermanos Familia is organized exclusively to be a significant catalyst for promoting family engagement, encouraging awareness about social issues, especially those impacting families, and more specifically providing a positive environment for West Texas families and youth to learn the fundamental skills of nature, environmental stewardship, service, leadership, and cultural diversity.
LHF’s annual “Vamos a Pescar, Let’s Go Fishing” event ignited our movement to impact and strive to increase the habitus for area families and individuals.
Our purpose is to engage the public with events and programs and to assist in mentoring West Texas families and youth by promoting pride in family, quality of life, and community.
Moreover, Los Hermanos Familia’s objective is Strengthening Families and Building Community.
After an area farmer made a last request to go fishing with his entire family, the day before his death, his son and daughter-in-law promised to fulfill that commitment.
As a result, Frank and Christy, invited friends, family, and many active organizations to form Los Hermanos Familia (The Brothers and Family), an association of men and volunteers who value God, family, and community.
Together in 2009, they coordinated the “Vamos a Pescar” (Let’s Go Fishing) Fishing event to bring dads together with their children/families. The event was deemed to be free, with no fishing license requirements, no registration fee, and cost for lunch - as to not hinder families, or discourage their participation in the event. The event was a hit and drew 1,800 participants!
